The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F*ck and
Get Your Sh*t Together comes more straight talk about how to stand up for who you are and what you really want, need, and deserve - showing when it's okay to be selfish, why it's pointless to be perfect, and how to be "difficult". Being yourself should be easy, yet too many of us struggle to live on other people's terms instead of our own. Rather than feeling large and in charge, we feel little and belittled.

The first type drain intelligence, energy, and capability from the ones around them and always need to be the smartest ones in the room. These are the idea killers, the energy sappers, the diminishers of talent and commitment. On the other side of the spectrum are leaders who use their intelligence to amplify the smarts and capabilities of the people around them.

Publisher's Summary

The proven prescription for powerful business communication.

Sending an email plagued with typos. Rushing through a presentation. Never saying no. Underdressing for a company event. What do these all have in common? Bad messaging.

The Communication Clinic is a comprehensive, common-sense guide to getting the job of your dreams and presenting yourself in the best light through your writing, speaking, body language, and overall appearance. In no time you'll begin recognizing the subtle mistakes that are holding you back and taking steps to overcome them.

The Communication Clinic provides the proven prescription for:

Writing effective emails

Developing a professional presence

Mastering verbal and nonverbal communication

Using social media for career success

Designing and delivering powerful presentations

Being assertive (but not aggressive) in person and online

Managing conflict

Business interactions are increasingly done over digital platforms and across traditional boundaries. Never has clear communication been more critical. Unskilled communicators can create awkward situations, negatively affect business profitability, and even end their own careers with a few poorly chosen keystrokes.

Consult The Communication Clinic, and you'll show everyone that you understand your job, that you care about your career, and that you work well with others - all of which come across loud and clear through effective communication.
